    First time on a Cruzbike

    Yes - it is hard to go back and forth between the 2 formats!

    Is it safe to drill chainstay bridge?

    I am not expert in structural integrity but I think as long as you keep the diameter of your hole to less than 1/3 of the thickness of the bridge you are going to be fine. Hopefully Robert can chime in with his thoughts.

    First time on a Cruzbike

    Nice - interesting that they are so close. Did you have the same wheels and tires on the CA2 when you collected the data on it? Too bad you do not have the CA2 where you could take them both to a close loop track and take some measurements side by side.

    Is it safe to drill chainstay bridge?

    Probably - but if you can take a picture of your chainstay and then edit it with an arrow or pointer to show exactly where you would like to drill the hole.

    The Cadence Conversations

    It is just that we tend to get faster as we get older. I do not know why - but that is just the way it works for some reason. I can't wait to see how fast Jason is when he is my age. Of course then I will be 90 - and gosh, by then I should really be fast. :rolleyes::rolleyes::eek:

    Some training hints: Resting and Spinning

    I was reminded of something the last few days - Now I need to make a sign and post it on my wall so I do not forget it ever again: I have been having a little trouble lately finishing some of my workouts. I thought it was because I reduced my seat angle by 10 degrees and that might have caused...

    The Cadence Conversations

    The key is to find that spot "just before heart failure" and then back off 1%, it is amazing how long you can stay at that level - especially if you imagine a black bear is chasing you or something.

    The Cadence Conversations

    That was an interesting video to say the lease.. :eek: I agree in the pedal cadence, foot angle on the pedal for his position, and also that much of the fight is in the mind when you are maxed out. He did however seem to imply that this 440 watt effort could be possible for many other people. I...

    Cruzbike KOM/QOM challenge 10-31-17 thru 10-10-18

    Hello everyone, I thought I would be able to try and keep track of KOMS by searching everyone's KOM data on Strava, but I find out that sometimes that is not very accurate, so this is what I need everyone to do who wants to participate in the challenge. Create a spreadsheet (google docs if...

    The Cadence Conversations

    Good point Slim, Yes I totally forgot to bring the short cranks into the discussion - how silly of me. :rolleyes: Think about it - the shorter your cranks are the "less" distance your legs have to move with each rotation. That is a lot of mass that you have to move less distance, therefore...

    The Cadence Conversations

    There is definitely a balance that must be found between high and low cadence. I tend to think 100 rpm is a pretty good real world limit to shoot for for most people. About that it becomes a cardiovascular detriment, but also training at that level and above can give you a great cardio benefit...

    Going to a 1x11 setup?

    When I ride outdoors, I ride 99% of the in my large 53 tooth chain ring and I have an 11x28. I think with an 11 cog cassette most people should not have an issue with a single chainring unless they are really climbing some really steep stuff. It will probably have to be a trial and error for...

    New Dates for Cruzbike Ride Retreat!

    It sure would be nice to participate in both. I am pretty sure Cruzbike has already reserved and paid for part of tbe White Lake facility and another week might not be available. Even neater would be to have the retreat somewhere in Nashville still at the same time. But that becomes another...
